This is an organizational change because back in the day if you wanted to buy things (they were MUCH cheaper back then), you could take coins or cash.

Cigarettes Cause Lung Cancer?
Credible Source
This is an organizational change because back in those days, smoking was the thing and if you didn't smoke then you weren't with it. Where as now, smoking is pretty much frowned upon. So in order to make people more safe, most places have banned smoking indoors whereas in the 50's you could smoke anywhere and everywhere. -
The "Pill"
Credible Source
It has effected life today in the way that people can use it if they don't want to get pregnant, rather than getting pregnant and then getting an abortion. This meant families could plan when to have children and how many they wanted to have. Also making it easier for women to actually be able to go out and do things. -
First Commercial Photocopier
Credible Source
This is a big deal because people these days don't know what to do if they can't take a selfie and then print it off on photo paper.
This made things easier in the office. Such as a law office, this makes things easier for the lawyer to actually be able to see photos clearly if trying to solve a case that involves photos, more evidence. -

Wal-Mart
Credible Source
The first Wal-Mart discount store was opened by Sam Walton in Bentonville, Arkansas.
This was something big because Wal-Mart is one of the number 1 places people go to shop and get good deals on food and clothing products. This meant you didn't have to go out really far to someone's farm to get produce, you were now able to go to into town and get the things you needed within minutes rather than hours. -
The Mouse
Credible Source
This was a major event for people now because if it wasn't for the mouse (later following the computer) then I wouldn't have even been able to find all of these interesting things for my timeline or even be able to do this online class. This meant that you could search things and not always have to go to the library when you wanted to find out about something that had happened in previous times. -
First Radio Circuit

The First ATM

First ATM
Having the ATM has really made an impact on the community from then to now. Makes it easier for people to get money out of the bank when they are in a hurry or it is after bank hours. -
Floppy Disk
Credible Source
The flobby disk was invented by David Noble. This made transferring stuff from computer to computer possible. This was an organizational change because even these days people use things closely related to the floppy disk and it helps in offices and at school when needed to take something from one computer to the next with only a couple easy steps.
